The Chicago Inicr-Occan Of u late
date publishes thiseditorial paragraph {:
An interior Texas exchange says that
whenever a vote Is taken on the prohibition
amendment on train IL always results IN
majority for prohibition. II Is not safe,
hewever, to count the vote ofTexas Tor pro
hibition The hard drinkers have no mon
cy to spend on travel.
T.ere Is some truth in this, and is a
suggestion to those unfortunate men
addicted to use of intoxicants that If
they would vote the temptcr out of
their reach they would then be cna-
blcd to save their earnings which now
largely 30 to the support OF the traf'
iic and the comfort and ease of n few
thousand dealers in liquors. But. as
to the sentiment of Texas on prohibit
ton. let us look further. We will take
the lawyers; In Dallas large moiori-
ty of the legal fraternity are positive
prohibitionists at Abilene l6 out of
20, at Swectwatar all at Colorado
City nearly eye'y one of Is, and ma
jority in nearly every town in Texas.
The medical fraternity are three
fourth for prohibition, and our infor-
nation Is that merchants and bankers
will give the amendment a good ma
iority. 1t is conceded by nearly all
that the native white agriculturists will
give vote Of three to one for prohi-
bition and as to mechanics and labor
ing men we will give some facts and
leave the reader to draw his own coli
illusions as TO the probable sue
cess of prohibition, and the
class and character of voters on which
the ants depend for any hope at all.
Here arc some figures gathered from
reliable sources: On the Marsalis,
Armstrong q Co. block the mechan-
les stand Is to for prohibition; Oil
mills the white force are 10 to 2, and
the colored la borcrs about equally d.
vided with occasional gains; on the
Hebrew Hall building the mechanics
are to /; of the mechanics under
Contractor Berry are pro and none
anti; the working force at Oak Cliff
are about three to one for the amend
ment. These figures and estimates
are reliable; and clearly indicate that
the sentiment of the best people of
Texas is largely for prohibition. and a
fair count will adopt the amendment.

considerably over special correspon-

such telegram was sent from there.
The correspondence was not pub
lished as a telegram all such CORES
pondence is not received by telegraph
nor all by telephone but some by mail.
Substantially the same report was pub
lished in the other daily papers and the
following statement from DR.. Eaves,
while peculiar, shows that our report

was founded was a very foolish piece

The article headed "He lost his

ton that both parties were perfectly

at me, was fired unintentionally, and
its coming out was not intended for

by the consent of both parties. w. II.

Tch DALLAS HERALD, iire-eating pro-
hipitionists. says both parties are import
ing voters. This admission Is either a
remarkable instance of cand0r on the part
of the HERALD, or strong proof that the
prohibitionists are doing most OF the I'M
porting.-San Antonio Times.
The HERALD was much provoked
at the above, but looking back to see
on what it could be based, found that
type setter had actually set it up
"anti and pros" instead of anti-pros,
and so it was printed in one Of the
first editorial paragraphs on the sub
ject of the importation of foreigners
and naturalizing them for voting
purposes. So the Times is assured
that the HERALD knows Of only one
party importing voters. viii the

How to Head Off the Ticket-Sharks.
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Every paper have looked at for the last week
has consatned growl or two about the Patti opera
and the ticket spectators. Various kinds of RENE
dies have been suggested and sundry agencies in
voked to correct the evil but the true remedy has
l think, not been brought forward yet. Yet it is
so simple and thorough that, when applied, there
will be no more standing in line for eight or ten
hours to procure the doubtful privilege OF paying
dearly for the refuse left by the spectators.
True, 1t is in one sense heroic remedy, but some
diseases require such, and, in this case there
would be the ample compensation Of seeing the
spectators beautifully 'left."
What is this remedy? The refusal to buy tickets
dgCheTe except at the regular bOr office. "But, you
say, "then we can't hear Patti" Well, suppose
you don't. Life may be a hollow mockery without
that inestimable privilege, yet imagine it can be
borne Take the Ten, eight, or I'VE dollars which
the sharks demand for the seat you want and in
vest 1t in some work or article you have long
wanted, or, better yet, buy food or medicine for
some helpless, suffering fellow being, and, my
word for it, you will have more heartfelt pleasure
out OF 1t than II you threw it into the NAV OF the
tfcket-Shark. One or two lessons OF this kind
would work thorough cure; for where there are
no buyers there are no sellers, and no argument
cOnvnceS SO absolutely as complete loss Besides,
II empty seats instead OF applauding people stared
the diva or star in the face she or he might take
human interest in the matter and make things
generally unpleasant for the managing powers,
until they found 1t to their advantage to see TO 1t
that only genuine sales were made, and the hOary
falSehOOd OF Preserved" when the seats are still
unbOught, relegated into the bOttOmleSs pit.

made an emphatic denial OF the defend
ants statement. Sir John said he never was
Fenian. He left the land league, he said, in
June, 1880, after quarrel with its managers for
opening his kilograms. He had not since that
time joined any Irish league or association. He

When Gibbs disappeared 1t was learned that he
had mOrtgaged some property OF his in Vineland

met with foul play. Later the news came that he
had drawn 81 200 OF the firms money from the

disappeared, and on Thursday the two grlS-Clara
Harris and Lizzie Lank-were also missed. Every
thing connected with the case goes 10 show that
